    DON'T DO IT! DO NOT GO THROUGH THE CAR WASH. I legit thought I had the worst luck, because the washer stopped moving after my car was getting soaped. I sat there and waited, because what if I get out and the machine starts working again? Hell no. But of course, behind me, is this guy with a raised truck so I'm scared he's going to be upset I'm taking forever but I'm thinking that he sees my car covered in soap so he knows it's not me. Went through it twice, because the manager gave me another voucher and kept telling me I was moving my car but my car was in park AND the emergency brake was pulled. It happened again. I just wanted all the bird poop off my car. Was it too much to ask? It broke on me again and I drove home in shame with my car covered in soap. this photo is me waiting 6 minutes for the soap to fall off before doing the drive of shame.

    This shell is conveniently located off of the Hillsdale offramp of the 101. The pumps are rather decrepit as it did take a few tries before the pump would "lock" and continuously fill my tank. To my surprise, when the pump "clicked," my tank wasn't even really full. It still had a good 2-3 gallons left at the top! Receipts were not available at the pump either...receipts were only available inside with the clerk. Luckily squeegees were in good working order and paper towels were available. Remember to use the Fuel Rewards Card for a 3 cent discount per gallon!

    I HATE this Shell station. Sure, it might have decent prices for a Shell but what good is that when every time you pull in, HALF THE PUMPS DON'T WORK and cars are all over the place in a chaotic mess, waiting for fuel?! You pull up to a pump that a car has just left, get your card, get out... and the pump is broke. Sometimes it'll have a sign, sometimes it just won't work. Then you have to somehow maneuver out of the mess, and get in the back of another line, even though you've probably already been there 5 hours waiting. No thanks. As if that isn't bad enough, a few weeks ago, I stopped by just after midnight to get a car wash and their 7$ automatic wash left SOAP ALL OVER MY CAR!!! (I don't normally wash my car in the a.m. but a bird had decorated it earlier in the evening.) I was so mad. There was nothing I could do though cause there was nobody who answered when I banged on the door and there was no water hose around for miles that I knew of. Now, I'm going to have to get a high detail job on my car to get the dried scum off. I've already tried one of the quick hand services but it didn't work. :( *I posted pics of the gross soap on my car* I will not stop there again unless it's an emergency. Won't see ya there!

    Car Wash : bad experience. After the wash it has till the mid mark. When I reported to casher, he argued this is clean and mentioned I have should have bought the highest package. The casher and his assistant was rude. This is not a customer friendly station. All I have asked was to clean the car another time. The station is not sensible to customers. Incident happened at 1pm 03/21/2018

    Since gas prices are so low now it doesnt hurt when you need gas near the freeway where they usually gouge you. It's a pain to get in and out here as this intersection is always busy and backed up during normal hours. But again, low prices and convenience make for something sometimes

    Not the San Mateo sHell...

    Decent Prices! Currently (5/18/07) Premium is at $3.68 a gallon. I drive past this station at least once a day. It seems to have the lowest prices of any of the four other Shell branded gasoline stations that are less than 5 miles from Foster City. I was shocked to see the Shell station at 1990 El Camino (see: ) selling their premium gas at over $4.00 a gallon! Yikes ! ! ! Driving this summer is going to be ridiculously expensive! It's a 3 star station but it gets one more for a number of reasons: + Lowest prices of ANY Shell in San Mateo (of which there are 5 !) ... + Decent car wash ($1.00 off the car wash for any fill up) + Better convenience store selections than Chevron in FC (see: http://www.yelp.com/biz/UNdZ1fDLSP8knT8U4_5KFg ) + It's my "home" station An example of a 5 STAR Station is Freshpond (en route to South Lake Tahoe) just outside of Placerville. (see: http://www.yelp.com/biz/32PrM4WMVGuTQtflZUu34w?hrid=QOkM-1F1QzhYTL8LMWI3qA )

    The lady says we don't do refills here. $3.27 for my soda! Usually it's $.99…read more At least I could use the restroom, unlike the Millbrae ARCO!

    Would give zero stars if I could. To the woman (taller woman than the first cashier, estimate in…read moreher late 40s, and black hair); you need to learn manners when dealing with customers and not tell them to F*** off when they say they will go elsewhere. You have aggressive bully-like mannerisms. In case you don't remember me, I am the customer who went to gas pump #4 on 6/25/2024 around 1030 AM. The gas pump showed "pay inside" on the screen. I went inside and paid the 1st female cashier (limited English who couldn't communicate well with me), and I paid with my debit card; thank God I received a receipt when I asked for one. I went out to pump my $80 worth of gas to see that the screen would not clear from showing "pay inside" and no gas was pumping. My first trip into the cashier was to ask for assistance, which I DID NOT RECEIVE. I had to go back to the gas pump, try again, to no avail. I re-entered the store to have the first cashier point to a receipt that stated $0. I informed her that I had already paid $80, showed my receipt, and conveyed that I did not receive any gas. She later went to get you out of the back of the store and you immediately were in "fighting mode" when you came up to me. You "greeted" me by saying "what's the problem?" Some advice for improved customer service; Try saying, "hello, how can I help you" the next time. You refused to assist me or to see what was wrong with the pump. After receiving NO assistance or resolution to the issue, I stated I would go elsewhere and turned to walk out, you shouted "F*** you!" at the top of your lungs. I am sure it is on video if your supervisor or store owner would like to watch the interaction. Your store/gas station will NEVER receive my business again and I will be sure to share my experience with my friends, with social media, and anyone I can. Read your other reviews on YELP, as these are consistent with my experience today. As a result of this, I now have to have my debit card credited back the "pre-authorization" so it does not remain deducted from my balance for a week. YOU need a class in customer service or maybe consider a job where you don't have to interact with the public.
